I like Marcel's "speed / quality" idea for user preference.

How about a checkbox "Fast previews (limit preview size)"? When checked,
Digikam limits preview size (to display size or something) and tries to load
embedded preview for raw files (in future, maybe smallest preview that is at
least of required size) and scales it to preview size (just like now).

When that box unchecked, Digikam loads full-size preview for jpegs. Unchecking
the box also enables a sub-option check box "prefer embedded preview for raw
files". Checking it uses embedded preview (largest that can be found) without
scaling. If the option is unchecked, raw decoding preview is used.

Would this be clear enough? Or is it illogical that the sub-option becomes
available only you the main option is *not* checked? From my own experience I
hope that the main option text would mention both speed and the fact the
preview size is limited.

Of course the main option could be close to current "preview loads full image
size", but I think the wording could be improved somewhat.
